Consider splitting BasicPrelude into a separate package #3

I think that BasicPrelude makes a lot of choices that can almost universally be agreed upon as Good Ideas. By splitting it out into its own package, other Prelude replacements can build off of it, including but not limited to modular-prelude. If you have reasons to not split it out, that is no hindrance to modular-prelude; I have no problem adding classy-prelude as a dependency, but I no longer plan to maintain BasicPrelude as part of modular-prelude. I am, of course, more than willing to assist in maintaining BasicPrelude if you want me to.

OK, I'm convinced that it's a good idea. I've created a new basic-prelude repo on Github, and added you as a collaborator. I haven't released it to Hackage yet, but whenever you/I/we feel it's ready, let's do so.
